I'm thinking of downsizing my peafowl. I think I want to keep my India Blue pair, and sell my white pair. I don't even know where to begin. Like how much would I even ask for my white pair? The are mated, and successful. My male is 4 this year, and his mate is 3. I don't want to give them...

I have 4 peachicks for sale. They were born on 6-29 and I know for sure that I have 2 males. The parents are not related. They were incubated by chicken hens and hatched out by me, but have been free range by their chicken mama's since day 1. They have been kept seperate from all other...

Not sure what is going on with my peahen. She laid 17 eggs this season so far...but never went broody! Last year, she laid 5 and that's it...went broody and was the best mom ever. This year....nothing....just eggs and 3 different nests. Nothing is different and nothing has been changed...

Well last night it got down to 33 and I brought Penelope's eggs in so they wouldn't freeze. I replaced her eggs with duck eggs so she wasn't looking at an empty nest. She's not setting yet, just laying her nest. My question is that tonight it's going to be 38* and I was wondering if I...

Penelope has between 5-7 eggs under her...she won't let me check to see how many that she has, but I know she has at least 5....and I didn't check on her the 6th egg day and I know she was setting the day after...This is her first brood and this is Pete's 3rd season, so I'm hopeful. I am...

I'm thinking of buying a new peahen for Pete...I bought him a mate a while back when I first realized that he would survive his injuries and become my pet. I bought him a peahen for $125.. I'm looking into buying amother peahen. I realize that the "girls" will have issues with eachother, but...

Last Thursday my hubby and I were out target shooting on our range and low and behold this GSH Pointer shows up. I have never seen a dog try and figure out what the heck we were shooting at so much in my entire life. Fearless this dog was. She stood just a foot under our targets and she was...

I just processed the remaining 4 turkeys for the season and decided to take them down to my local butcher who happens to smoke meat once a week. Into the hickory smoker they went yesterday and this morning when I picked them up, my truck filled with the wonderful aroma of smoked turkey!! Oh...

My neighbor breeds cat like they're gong out of style! Well, my husband adopted 2 litter mates from the neighbors a year ago...one long hair and one short hair-blue boys...the long hair is named Spitz (full of piss and vinegar) and the other, a short hair twin of the littermate, Dragon-sweet...

This is the 2nd year that I've ordered from them. The first year, I ordered 50 meaties. They sent 51 in a 2 sided box and I had 1 fatality. They grew out really well, and I didn't have any problems with their legs giving out so this year I ordered 50 again. When I received them this morning...

So I bought this little girl at our local TSC on March 8 of this year, so that makes her 24 weeks old roughly. I bought her from the bantam bin along with 2 silkies. I still cannot figure out what she is. I'm guessing a Mille Fleur (sp?) but I just don't know. Any ideas as to what she is...

So I have a pair of India Blue peafowl. I had a male I had come across in March -here's the thread.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=465980 whom I quickly named Rescue Pete. After treating him and nursing him through some very rough days I fell in love with him...

I have Pete and Penelope's pen complete and they've been living in harmony for awhile now. The coop is 10x12x8 and the run is 12x32x8. They both are a year old roughly. I was reading a thread on here about the pacing back and forth actions of some peafowl and one suggestion was made that...

My neighbor came over today while I was out tending to the peacocks and told me that his riding lawnmower and tool chest were taken out of his garage either last night or the night before...he's not for sure. He has a huge german shepherd that guards the front door, but my neighbor didn't hear...

I know, strange question, but my sister in law is getting married and would like to put some feathers in her bouquets...feathers that are orange, red, tan, burnt orange, brown...fall colors basically. She's also looking for ostrich feathers as well. If anyone has any feathers that they'd be...

This bbw turkey poult is 1 week old. The kids just noticed the other turkeys picking at it's hind end, so that's the reason for the blood. It seems like it's a swollen vent, no guts or anything...and I just watched it poop. So it's like its distended or something. For now, I have it...

So I've started building Pete and Penelope's new house and run and it's coming along pretty well. The house is going to be 10x12x8 and so far the run will be 12x32x8. I've built little 4x8 coops before but I am no carpenter by any means. Hubby bought me a whole complete set of tools (power...
